Is there documentation somewhere that defines the fields found in the .lks file?

I have to change several scaling items (among other items) in Lookout and would like to know what these fields are in the file so I can do it in Excel or a text editor.  I'm also trying to duplicate the Lookout "database" for another application.  Any help would be appreciated...thanks!

Hi,

I don't think these are documented.  I usually try to figure these out by trial-and-error.  The error log is quite helpful (for a change!).  If you go to the line number in the error, you will _usually_ find the error. 

A note of caution though:  you will want to always edit in Notepad (or any other "raw" text editor) because other programs tend to add some additional formatting characters (line breaks, etc.) which the CBL compiler doesn't like.  Even if you use Excel, you will want to open the final "text" into Notepad and use it from there to remove any such characters.
